Extremely detailed photograph of the moon

 An Iraq-based photographer decided to take the most detailed picture of the moon. 

 ...it required four days of continuous moon observation and shooting, ending up with over 81,000 images. They were stacked together to create the final 708 GB piece, with a whopping 159.7 MP resolution. Darya merged four different moon phases and the moon’s shadow area to reveal the topography of the lunar surface.

You can see some of the pictures here. The quality of those pictures are amazing so the amount of work put into this project.

Exposing for the brightest subject

I really enjoy using this technique in photography. The concept is straightforward: you focus on a subject illuminated by a spot of light. To ensure the subject is properly exposed, you need to adjust the exposure compensation on your camera. This adjustment will naturally cause the background to appear very dark, often reaching black.

In post-processing, you then refine the image by trying to keep the background as dark as possible. The result is a striking photograph where the subject stands out vividly against a nearly black backdrop. This method is excellent for creating dramatic, high-contrast images that emphasize the subject.

Shadows and lights

 This is what is photography about, a dance between shadows and lights.

Rainy Day...

 Even in a rainy day you can end with nice pictures.

Happy World Photography Day!

 Today, August 19th we celebrate the World Photography Day!

It takes place on this day to commemorate the French government's declaration of the patent for the invention. This day celebrates photographers and their craft, the process of documenting memories, and the opportunity to learn about other people and cultures through the medium of photography.
